Let's see.. How much extra could it cost them to include the 
software...?  $5 per unit max I would guess..

Given that I'd say they should have included the software and let people 
not use it if it sucked... ;-)

I mean, how many people actually use the Epson PhotoPrint software 
instead of  Elements, PhotoShop, etc?

Better to include it and let the market decide..

That's why I think my informants are correct as to the reasoning that 
sold EPSON..

As for the interests of those making and selling profiles, EPSON could 
probably not give a darn, but, it would almost certainly influence the 
viewpoint of those individuals selling the profiles if they were 
consulted...

It's why I keep ads off my EPSON site 100%, and won't ever start a 
inkjet supply biz..  I'd rather be free of even the perception of any 
potential conflict of interest..
